> Suppose I have "pg_dump -s" of two pg installs, one is "dev", another
is "production". Their schemas don't differ too much, and I want to
get a "diff -u"-like schema diff so I can quickly add missing/remove
old
tables/sequences/etc to one or another (manually). Is there some quick
tool for doing this ?
There was a thread about it sometime in aug, 2002, but it ended without
producing anything useful.
This is the closest I get, but it is only marginally useful:

PG_DUMP=/usr/bin/pg_dump
DIFF=/usr/bin/diff
GREP=/bin/grep
CAT=/bin/cat
-- 5434 is the port on which DEV runs
-- 5433 is the port on which QAT runs
${PG_DUMP} -s -p 5432 mydb|${GREP} -v '^--'|${CAT} -s >5432.sql
${PG_DUMP} -s -p 5433 mydb|${GREP} -v '^--'|${CAT} -s >5433.sql
${PG_DUMP} -s -p 5434 mydb|${GREP} -v '^--'|${CAT} -s >5434.sql
${DIFF} 5432.sql 5433.sql > 5432-5433.diff
${DIFF} 5433.sql 5434.sql > 5433-5434.diff
